My code was working correctly till yesterday and I was able to fetch tweets, from GetSearch(), but now it is returning empty list, though I check my credentials are correct
Is something changed recently??
Thank you
They might have a limit of requests in a certain amount of time or they had a failure on the system. You can ask for new credentials to see if the problem was the first one and try getting the tweets with them.

I'm working on a Power Automate flow where the flow is supposed to connect to Planner, get the tasks which are due tomorrow and send a message to an MS Teams Channel.
I got the entire flow working except of one thing - getting the names of the person(s) whom the task is assigned.
Here's my current flow:
Getting the list of Tasks from Planner,
Filter those which have a Due Date set,
Filter the ones which have the Due Date tomorrow,
Get the Name of the Task Creator using Get User Profile,
Send the data into an MS Teams Channel.
This all works perfectly fine. However I also need to get the names of the Assigned users. I understand that they come as an array. And when I try to add it to the same Get User Profile it's getting wrapped into an unnecessary "Apply to Each" which breaks everything.
Does anyone have a clue how this can be solved? Basically I need only 1 Assignee as we are not going to assign the same task to more than 1 person.
Any help would be much appreciated!
In order to avoid the loop (which is also a valid approach, long story) then you can use an expression to get the first (in case there are multiple) assigned user.
This is an example where you don't need to loop ...
... you can see I've initialised a (string) variable at the top which will hold the user ID GUID.
... then further down in the Set Assigned To operation, this is the expression I use ...
item()?['_assignments'][0]['userid']
That gets the first user and then the associated userid property. You can then pass that into the Get user profile (V2) task ...
Obviously, you need to adapt that to your flow but I hope that makes sense.
I am trying to push a event towards GA3, mimicking an event done by a browser towards GA. From this Event I want to fill Custom Dimensions(visibile in the user explorer and relate them to a GA ID which has visited the website earlier). Could this be done without influencing website data too much? I want to enrich someone's data from an external source.
So far I cant seem to find the minimum fields which has to be in the event call for this to work. Ive got these so far:
v=1&
_v=j96d&
a=1620641575&
t=event&
_s=1&
sd=24-bit&
sr=2560x1440&
vp=510x1287&
je=0&_u=QACAAEAB~&
jid=&
gjid=&
_u=QACAAEAB~&
cid=GAID&
tid=UA-x&
_gid=GAID&
gtm=gtm&
z=355736517&
uip=1.2.3.4&
ea=x&
el=x&
ec=x&
ni=1&
cd1=GAID&
cd2=Companyx&
dl=https%3A%2F%2Fexample.nl%2F&
ul=nl-nl&
de=UTF-8&
dt=example&
cd3=CEO
So far the Custom dimension fields dont get overwritten with new values. Who knows which is missing or can share a list of neccesary fields and example values?
Ok, a few things:
CD value will be overwritten only if in GA this CD's scope is set to the user-level. Make sure it is.
You need to know the client id of the user. You can confirm that you're having the right CID by using the user explorer in GA interface unless you track it in a CD. It allows filtering by client id.
You want to make this hit non-interactional, otherwise you're inflating the session number since G will generate sessions for normal hits. non-interactional hit would have ni=1 among the params.
Wait. Scope calculations don't happen immediately in real-time. They happen later on. Give it two days and then check the results and re-conduct your experiment.
Use a throwaway/test/lower GA property to experiment. You don't want to affect the production data while not knowing exactly what you do.
There. A good use case for such an activity would be something like updating a life time value of existing users and wanting to enrich the data with it without waiting for all of them to come in. That's useful for targeting, attribution and more.
Thank you.
This is the case. all CD's are user Scoped.
This is the case, we are collecting them.
ni=1 is within the parameters of each event call.
There are so many parameters, which parameters are neccesary?
we are using a test property for this.
We also got he Bot filtering checked out:
Bot filtering
It's hard to test when the User Explorer has a delay of 2 days and we are still not sure which parameters to use and which not. Who could help on the parameter part? My only goal is to update de CD's on the person. Who knows which parameters need to be part of the event call?
I've got some kind of script. Goal is:
Get Mailchimp Lists
For each list get members
For each member get activity
Store it
Does anyone know - if there any way to not use one API call for each member to get his activity?
I've got around 28 000 members.
28 000 API calls - seems as bad as it can be.
I've tried to get Lists Activity, but no way, it is always empty. So I really have to get exactly members activity.
I'm currently attempting to do something very similar and there is a workaround, although I am not sure how feasible it is. Basically, you can do it through reports, email activity:
http://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/reference/reports/email-activity/
The challenge here will be that you will try to pull 28.000+ records at a time, therefore it will take a long time. From my brief calculations it can take up to 1 minute per 1000 records (you will need to loop through 1000 records at a time, otherwise it will most likely time out).
The larger problem is maintaining this 'database', if you have activity constantly happening (i.e. opens/clicks/bounces) then you will need to pull the whole campaign activity again and update wherever you store it. I've been trying to find a workaround with no success. You could use the 'since=2017-10-07T00:00:00+00:00' parameter, however it still returns a blank list when there is no activity unfortunately. If only 1000 members are actually active, it will return 27.000 rows of no activity. It would be great if there would be another parameter we could potentially apply to return only emails where there was an action.
Please let me know if you find a better solution.
P.S. - it might be worth reaching out to mailchimp support for this
Update - you can use the Mailchimp Export api: https://developer.mailchimp.com/documentation/mailchimp/guides/how-to-use-the-export-api/ and extract the email activity. I had huge issues unpacking it, please follow the links below: Decode text response from API in Python 3.6 and Separate pd DataFrame Rows that are dictionaries into columns . Let me know if you have any other questions.
How can I abort a store load while the ajax call is still executing? I have a simple store with proxy type of 'ajax' and 'json' reader.
The documentation does not indicate any way to abort this. I have noticed that jsonp does allow aborting a load in progress. Do I have to switch to jsonp?
The motivation here is that I have a search bar and list object that gets populated with results. The actual search on the backend can take 5-10 seconds. So if a user starts a search then quickly wants to do another search (in case, for example, the first search was a typo), then the new search needs to abort the first search ajax call. Otherwise, I am seeing mixed results showing up in my search results.
As usual, any help is greatly appreciated!

The solution I have used in the past to solve this exact problem is to track each request with an incrementing counter and as requests complete I check the counter and if a request has been made with a higher counter I disregard the result.
I'm building a Twitter app that requires to check user data somewhat frequently, but I'm facing trouble with a cache that's oddly on Twitter's side, not mine.
Try the following user:
users/show in XML: http://twitter.com/users/show.xml?screen_name=technolocus
users/show in JSON: http://twitter.com/users/show.json?screen_name=technolocus
normal page: http://twitter.com/technolocus
All these methods of accessing data should return the same values, right? Check the statuses_count for each of them.
XML: 12548
JSON: 12513
normal: 12498
The normal method (i.e. just visiting the profile non-programatically) serves up the most correct value of 12498. If I post or delete tweets to this account, it gets updated on the profile page instantly, but the XML and JSON methods still return cached data.
At this point, the values of the XML and JSON methods are 12 to 18 hours old respectively.
I first tried to access these methods from my website (hosted on Dreamhost). I thought it was Dreamhost caching the responses. Then I tried to access the API directly from my browser. I did a cURL from the command line from my machine after that. It wasn't dreamhost. I thought it was probably my ISP (I think they use NetApp or something like that). Then I asked a friend in another corner of India to try it. He's getting the exact same cached responses as I am.
So it isn't Dreamhost's cache; it isn't my ISP or my country's cache. There's only one conclusion - Twitter is caching responses.
How in the heavens do I get around this?!?
Forgot to mention this: The script on the server is in PHP and is using cURL to retrieve the XML and JSON data from Twitter, while the local tests have been just using the browser. Both have the exact same result!
First, I think you should report this a a bug to Twitter. I see the same discrepancy as you, and no matter what that seems like a bug. Even if they're caching, I'd expect that a cache on their side would store an abstract form that would then be rendered into HTML, JSON, and XML. I wonder if what's actually going on is that these requests are performing similar but different queries.
Are you sure that the values are "old"? For example, did you actually delete about 50 updates recently (since you say the HTML one is newest but shows a lower count than the other two)? If you create another update do you see the HTML number increment while the other numbers stay the same, or do they all increment simultaneously?
If what you are saying is accurate, and it probably is, generally, you can't get around it. Twitter would want to be caching its responses since they are costly to reproduce every single time.
When you use Twitter's APIs, you end up being bound by its conventions, even if that includes caching.
Your best bet is to tweet to #twitterapi and get them to give you a response as to why the two representations are divergent.
Add ?blah=xxxx to all urls.
I don't develop anything against twitter and ocassionaly manually "follow" three tweets by going to them in my browser. They always lag behind by half a day. I add ?asdsadsadsad to the url (everytime something different) and it always updates. I don't know what Twitter is doing here and came here while searching for the problem. But I guess this trick of appending a random value to the url via GET will probably work for your api requests, too.
